Momi Berlin loves cleaning the house. Perhaps it is one of the traits she got from her grandmother. She also grew up seeing how her mother values a tidy home.

I could spend hours cleaning the house and emerged extra energetic after that. The smell of a multi-purpose cleaner and the sound of scrub against the floor delight me. Maybe weird but cleaning satisfies my ego.

Recently, I learned that some of my cleaning efforts were futile. Though cleaning is the process of removing soil and dirt from a surface, it only becomes effective if one uses the right cleaning solution.

Sometimes, I have been using the wrong cleaning agent thus despite my effort to whiten our bathroom tiles, for instance, it remains tarnished. Money and energy were put to waste.
